A grand jury will now decide if there is enough evidence to move forward with a criminal trial for a Buena Vista pastor accused of molesting at least two teenage boys.
Larry Clark was in Rockbridge County Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court Monday for a preliminary hearing, where a judge found there was sufficient cause for the case to go before a grand jury. They’ll decide whether or not to indict Clark on two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child and one count of cruelty and injuries to a child.
The charges stem from two separate incidents the alleged victims claim took place back in 2011. According to search warrants, one teenage boy says he was molested in the bathroom of Clark’s home. Another says Clark invited him to his house via Facebook and when he went to Clark’s house, he too was molested.
Due to the sensitive nature of the case, a judge kept the hearing closed to the public.
